KPS/style

Instant Platform for Fashion, Luxury & Lifestyle Brands

The goal

Transformation as dynamic as your business

The entire retail sector is one of the areas with the highest degree of digitalisation worldwide: if you look at the retail sector with fashion, lifestyle and luxury goods, you can see that in many places investments have been made in customer-oriented processes and applications, as the competitive pressure and the desire for differentiation is particularly noticeable and lasting here. The desire for a seamless connection of all sales and communication channels (omnichannel experience) presents CIOs and managers in the industry with the challenge of also adapting their operative core business processes to these sustainable trends on the customer side.

From value chain to an ecosystem

Customer expectations of seamlessly connected sales channels have changed and shopping behaviour itself is increasingly shaped by the inclusion of digital channels. With integrated business scenarios, the brand can be experienced by the customer at all touchpoints in a memorable way and the advantages of an omnichannel model can be leveraged effectively.

This also requires some technological skills from companies: On the one hand, to use modern, mostly cloud-based, integrated architectures with a high degree of standardisation and automation and, on the other hand, to be able to react flexibly to developments in the entire ecosystem. 

KPS/style - von der Wertschöpfungskette zum Ökosystem

Insight

For the entire fashion lifestyle - immediately accessible.

KPS/style comes fully equipped with state-of-the-art, integrated and tested end-to-end business scenarios and use cases for the four phases of the fashion lifecycle – from sampling to pre-season, in-season and post-season. Scenarios such as Concept-to-product, Costing and Pricing, Order-to-cash, Store Order-to-Replenishment or Returns & Complaints as well as all necessary Omnichannel scenarios – all included. The processes are developed with KPS best practices for assortments such as fashion, shoes, leather products, accessories, jewellery, watches, sporting goods, lingerie, licensed or optical articles and are implemented in SAP S/4HANA and Customer Experience Cloud solutions on the platform and can be accessed immediately.

Best-practice processes and targeted customisation offer real added value for your customers and your brand.

In-house developments and modifications of formerly standard applications that have grown over years, as well as expensive functional process deviations in specialist areas, are a challenge for every transformation. Cut off old habits and invest in a new development - but without having to tackle a risky project lasting several years.

With the KPS Instant Platform /style, you buy a ready-to-use platform on which you will find state-of-the-art processes for fashion companies end-to-end, from merchandise management to the shopping basket in the online shop and a personalised customer experience immediately accessible and at the same time have room for differentiating individualisation.

KPS reduziert Komplexität und bringt Kunden schneller ans Ziel. Geschwindigkeit ist ein entscheidender Faktor im heutigen Fashion-Markt!

Just as every collection has its own signature, our platform can also be adapted to your company's signature.

Platformise your transformation

Instant Value. Instant Innovation. Instant Fashion.

Instant transformation with a KPS Instant Platform means immediate effectiveness at all relevant levels. You will feel the difference – and so will your customers.

The platform is a product that we have already pre-built based on the most advanced software currently available on the market – SAP S/4HANA and customer-focused cloud solutions. You receive the KPS/style platform at a fixed price. If you wish, we can define the necessary framework parameters such as organisational structures with you in the customisation package and identify all touchpoints to third-party systems that are to be seamlessly integrated. We also identify the processes specific to your company that deviate from the standard and require customisation – in order to secure competitive advantages for you in the future.

Reason to believe - Case Study Christ

With excellent performance from the point of sale to the scalable shop system in the cloud.

There is also further growth potential in an online shop that is running very well: in just a few months, KPS expanded CHRIST's already very high-performance online shop into a genuine customer interaction platform. The focus is always on a customer journey that is in no way inferior to the perfect all-round experience and lived trust in the offline business.

Supply chains and value chains in the fashion industry are changing

The challenges for companies are growing daily. In the fashion industry, companies are coming under increasing global competitive pressure combined with advancing digitalisation. So-called digital pure players are becoming increasingly important and setting new trends. In addition, vertical suppliers are almost omnipresent - they are simply omnipresent on all available channels.

We would be happy to provide you with more detailed information or invite you to test the platform at our Design Centre.
